Seems like an excellent projector for the money.

Free postage. So just work out the £/€ conversion on £399.

Literaly bought this a week ago for 499

Wonder if Amazon would give me back the difference or should I send it back...

BArra · 25-12-2014 07:19PM

Email amazon asking about the pricedrop, I'll bet they will refund you the difference saying something like this is a one time goodwill gesture of a refund

jay-me · 25-12-2014 07:32PM

What do I say though? I see there is a recent `price drop can you refund me or how would I approach it?

robertowjr · 25-12-2014 07:38PM

Currys has the same projector for €529, current conversion rate the Amazon one would cost about €510, here's the link in case you guys prefer to get it from Currys.

Thinking of going to currys tomorrow and trying to blag it for 500... surely they'll haggle a bit???

Its worth sending them an email/contacting customer services.They are usually very good when this happens.I have gotten the difference refunded a few times when prices changed within a few days of purchasing.
If they dont refund its probably still worth sending it back and then buying again at the reduced rate.

What did you say to them though?

reni10 · 26-12-2014 12:31AM

Is this the best projector around at the moment for the price?

I am looking to possibly install in my sitting room and want something with good picture quality, quiet and neat so thinking this might fit the bill?

jay-me · 26-12-2014 12:39AM

Got it sorted via chat! Have to send it back and purchased another one just there. Some saving and could have saved an extra 11 pounds sending it to Parcel Motel but I don't trust them with something that expensive.

They are based in Belfast too, they are on Boards under 'Talk To...' post them a PM and ask them about it, I had my TV delivered from their UK store via the north for standard delivery ~€20.

Unless things have changed any offer on their UK site unless otherwise stated (instore only, etc.) is availabe over here.

While I don't own this Projector, I did a lot of research into its previous version and it's easily one of, if not the best value for money HD projector out there, I might pick this up if i can break the piggy bank.

reni10 · 26-12-2014 10:47PM

I just grabbed the Optoma H181x 720p projector instead of the one in the OP for GBP299 on the Amazon Boxing Day sale:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Optoma-H181x-Ready-Entertainment-Projector/dp/B00P2OOQXQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1419630322&sr=1-1&keywords=H181x

It is only 720p instead of 1080p but for 100 less and as this is my first ever projector I will see how I go and if I need to upgrade at a later date I will...

It gets very good reviews as well so hopefully will be a decent first foray into the world of home projectors!

I don't think you'll go wrong with a 720p Optoma. I have a Optoma HD65 720p for the past 6 years and don't notice pixelation over approx 6 feet. Only needed to change the bulb twice at 100euro a pop and another plus is, if you've no set top box, like sky/upc, then there's no need for a tv licence.

There are negatives tho (at least with mine) - fan noise and really only performs optimally in a pitch dark room. Doesn't bother me tho as I only use it at night.

How do these compare to the viewsonic

I considered both Optoma and ViewSonic (posted those deals here in boards too) and the ViewSonic has an offer running that will get you two active 3D glasses (probably worth around 50 quid). Another plus for ViewSonic is that is an LCD projector compared to Optoma's older DLP colour wheel setup which is known to have rainbow effect issues to some people. On the other hand, ViewSonic is more of a cross-over projector (business as well as HT), so emphasis seems to be on brightness than colour accuracy etc. Some reports of the image looking cr*p, but there are ways to tune it apparently. And there are comments on ViewSonic's warranty and support... so I don't know.

There's also Optoma HD181X 720p on Amazon going for £299.

Anyway, I ordered Optoma HD141X. Can't wait to get it delivered!

The H181X is back to £349 now, was only on offer in a lightning deal last night for a few hours for £299, that is when I grabbed it...

Anyone know of a cheap cart or something like that so that the projector can be wheeled easily into other rooms as I would like it portable between the sitting room and kids playroom.

these type of projectors are pretty light, so not much problem moving them around. Would always wait a few minutes for bulb to cool down before moving it though.

reni10 · 27-12-2014 06:06PM

Looks like the lightning deal for the optoma H181X is on again at 6pm so you can probably pick it up for £299 again if anyone is interested...

Nedved85 · 27-12-2014 06:11PM

299?
